Chapter 10: Fragments (2)
The picture has changed again.
The whole white building is filled with the smell of disinfectant water.
The cat, standing on the stairs of the hallway, walked down the only light door on the floor.
He walked into a hospital room.
Single rooms, large rooms, even worth an apartment.
But in the empty room, the smell of disinfectant water, the sound of dripping together, and the cold wind blowing slowly from the window make this place more lonely and deserted.
On the bed, half-lying was the snow-white woman.
And sitting in front of the bed is the witch lady who has grown up a little.
Her youthful face has long since faded from the cuteness of baby fat, and her emaciated cheeks and red eyes at this time seem to indicate the condition of the woman lying on the bed.
She's going to die.
She half-lowered her head, looked at the witch who had been staring at the mattress in front of her, and said,
"I know it's not a day off."
"Excuse me, you've been with me all day."
She spoke slowly, pausing for long periods of time for each word.
Looking at her on the bed, with sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and long withered white hair, and thinking about her angry hair not long ago, Li Wei's heart was somewhat mixed.
Should he clap his hands and praise and scold him deserved?
Or do you regret the poor life of the red face and lament the pity of the witch lady?
He felt that no matter what kind of extreme emotions he had, he could not describe the complex feeling in his heart at this moment.
After a long pause, she spoke again in her weakness,
"Today...... It's the last time. ”
Hearing this, the witch lady, who had kept her head down, suddenly raised her head and stood up.
Her black pupils were full of shock and disbelief,
"The last time?? Mom, what does that mean? ”
Because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was even a little hoarse.
"I'm sorry, I don't have time."
She didn't answer Miss Witch's question, as if talking to herself,
"I knew I had little left of my life.
But, I still have you.
I can't let you go, I just can't let go of you. ”
"That's why I've always treated you so harshly and educated you."
……
Miss Witch didn't speak, she was still immersed in the shock and bewilderment of Fang Cai.
- ...... long ago Got it?
Li Wei could even hear the helpless hesitation of herself in her heart.
- Why?
- Why is this happening.
"Looking at the way you are now, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong.
I'm so glad I used to discipline you so harshly, and look at you now, you are so good. ”
- There is nothing wrong with it.
While repeating this sentence in her heart, Miss Witch took a deep breath that was difficult to contain.
Her eyes widened, and she swallowed the words she wanted to say that she had not yet organized.
She wanted to say:
No, there must be a way.
Die......?
Is she going to die?
No...... Impossible, impossible.
We must still have a way, we can ...... OK......
But all of this was choked in the throat.
And she didn't notice that Miss Witch was abnormal, so she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Miss Witch's arm.
"Remember, what I'm saying now."
"You may not understand it now, but you must remember.
Definitely. ”
Her sudden and violent movements made the infusion bottles hanging above her begin to shake, her nails embedded in Miss Witch's arms, and her wide eyes stared at Miss Witch who was full of panic,
"Never let anyone know your bloodline, don't let anyone know that I am your mother."
- For ...... Why.
"Don't let anyone know that you're a witch too."
- What is a witch......
But Miss Witch didn't ask any questions, and her mother didn't leave any room for her to ask.
She slowly raised her other hand and groped for Miss Witch's head with a gentle movement that she had never remembered before.
The action of raising his hand to stroke made Miss Witch's eyes wet in an instant.
It was the first time in her memory, in her life...... Groped by my mother like this.
Her tears slipped down her eyes like a dam bursting its banks.
"Mom's ......"
But her mother ignored her,
"It's nice that you have black hair, exactly like your father."
Her dim red eyes were fixed on Miss Witch as if she were looking through him.
"He wasn't like that before.
He was gentle, gentlemanly, loving, and even humorous. ”
"But now I know that it all has a purpose.
What he wants has always been the blood of a witch that I have in my body. ”
- The Witch's Blood ......?
"The blood of witches and dragons, the wings of elves, the eyes of demons......
These are top-notch treasures that countless people want to fight for with their lives. ”
"So, you must not be exposed.
In this day and age, if you are exposed, it will be even harder than I am, child. ”
"But it's okay, your father has decided you're a failure.
He did not inherit my blood, nor did he inherit the blood of his great magician.
The conceited man abandoned you like this, hahaha, hahahaha......"
Her laughter echoed through the empty room, her hoarse voice, her hysterical laughter, like a ghost wandering in the middle of the night.
For a long time, the violent cough stopped her from laughing in horror.
Her expression changed suddenly, her brows furrowed, and the expression on her face was very resolute.
"I have been manipulated to become the blood bank of the greedy.
So, I'd rather die. ”
- No, don't.
How could a witch lady of this age withstand such a fright, she had already stayed where she was, at a loss.
"Bai Yan, my mother left everything she had to you.
You don't have to feel sad, you'll know that mom is always there for you. ”
"I know you don't like your father a lot, that's okay.
From tomorrow onwards, you are my daughter, and you are only my daughter. ”
- What does this mean?
"Later...... There's no way to sleep with you anymore. ”
"I'm sorry."
- No, what I want...... That's not true......
"Don't hate anyone.
Mom just wants you to live safely. ”
"But you always have to remember that the world has changed.
To be truly peaceful, you need to be strong, stronger than everyone else! ”
These words seemed to exhaust the last strength of her body, and she fell back to the head of the bed weakly, and let go of the hand that held the witch lady tightly.
She waved her hand, turned her head, and did not look at Miss Witch again,
"Let's go. I am tired. ”
"No, Mom...... I don't want to ......"
"Get out."
“……”
"Don't make me say it a second time."
"Good ......"
Miss Witch's answer was choked up and out of breath,
"I'm gone, Mom. I'm really gone! ”
"Well, let's go, we'll see you tomorrow."
After saying that, an invisible force swept the witch out of the lady.
Bang.
The door is closed.
It was a door that she could never open again, no matter how much she slammed, knocked, or cried.
Seven days later.
The sun was shining and it was a nice sunny day.
Next to the low-hanging white flowers is a tombstone.
Her snow-white hair and gentle smile that she had never seen before were forever imprinted on it.
At this time, only Miss Witch came to visit her.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Miss Witch just lowered her head and stared intently at her photo.
She didn't speak, she didn't cry, she didn't move.
She just stood quietly.
……
